THE VISHU BOX - BY PALAKKAD KITCHEN

Vishu is a festival celebrated in the Southern Indian states and their diaspora communities. The festival marks the first day of Medam, the ninth month in the solar calendar followed in Kerala.

The festival is notable for its solemnity and is marked by family time, preparing colourful auspicious items and viewing these as the first thing on the Vishu day( Vishukkani).The traditional belief is that one's future is a function of what one experiences, that the new year will be better if one views auspicious joyful things as the first thing on Vishu . In particular, the believers seek to view the golden blossoms of the Indian laburnum (Kani Konna), money or silver items, mirror, rice and other harvest products and eating a special meal called Sadhya which is a mix of salty, sweet, sour and bitter items.

Palakkad Kitchen wishes all it's patrons a wonderful Vishu and as usual, we have got you covered for the essential parts of the Vishu Sadhya :)
